Talk on "Agile Beyond Framework" with a workshop on Lean Coffee at the Regional Scrum Gathering 2018, Nepal. Many people when they think of Agile correlate or envision one or more Agile frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, and so on. Furthermore, most of us are obsessed with following these frameworks by the book. There is nothing wrong with this, however, many times we realize that the soul or the effectiveness seems to be missing. In this session, I intend to introduce the idea of experimentation, and its use for better agile implementation. To facilitate experimentation, I will share the concept of practices like Lean Coffee, Communities of Practice, Personal Mapping, Exploration Days, Celebration Grid, Affinity Mapping, and Meddlers.
